Fitness Suite at Ottery St Mary Leisure Centre

The Health and Fitness Suite is fully equipped with a large variety of both cardiovascular and resistance machines. We have everything you need to maintain and increase your fitness levels whatever your age and ability, from 16yrs+

About the Fitness Suite

Ottery's gym offers a comprehensive range of health and fitness equipment.  Cardiovascular pieces include: treadmills, steppers, cross-trainers, concept II rowers, upright bikes and a recline bike. There is floor space for stretching and core exercise, such as abdominal workouts. The suite is staffed by a small team of qualified, professional and friendly trainers, who are on hand to offer advice, give you guidance and write programmes for you.

 

Gym Induction

Before using the fitness studio for the first time, you need to have a health check and induction with one of our instructors. This is to ensure you get maximum benefits from using the equipment.The induction involves taking your blood pressure and being shown how to use the equipment in the studio. You will also find out how different levels and programmes are available for your use, and you will be given a personal programme to follow, taking all the considerations of your fitness level into account.

Programme Updates

Your programme can be updated at any time, all you need do is arrange an appointment to see an instructor. We have a number of supervised sessions, with superb staff on hand to give you all the help and advice you may need - whatever your level.

 

 

PULSE Fitness

The PULSE scheme was estabilshed in 1994 and enables people to benefit from supervised physical activity. The sessions are designed for small groups of participants who work on their personal programmes. The instructor is there at all times to help participants and devleop their programmes. Your exercise intensity and duration will gradually increase as your progess dictates.

The PULSE scheme at Ottery St Mary is mainly based on the cardiovascular fitness activity in the fitness suite, although other options are available at other centres such as:

• WALKING CIRCUITS
• PULSE AQUA
• SWIMMING
